Try this quilt pattern in fabrics from Abbi May’s. It shows off big bold prints.

See below for the large prints I choose from Free Spirit collection, Cloe’s Imagination by Tina Givens. They were perfect for my quilt project!

Big blocks

Sashing and squares

 The big blocks are 14 1/2″ square and the sashing is 4 1/2″ wide – perfect for this fabric!  From cutting to piecing, I made this quilt top in 5 hours! It was so easy – it used 4 fabrics and one bobbin! The blocks are sewn together first in rows and then the rows are sewn together to make the top.

Kits Available here for the Spice It Up pattern includes the fabric in my quilt 
or I can kit any fabrics from my shop.

I got the quilt layered and am going to quilt it today in a very large stipple.

I have the perfect fabrics for this boy/teen quilt: Love of the Game from Blank Quilting. There are only two fabrics in this quilt – one print and one solid. You can choose your own theme in the colors you want.

Assembly is very easy!

Dazzale your tree with a festive skirt. Lisa England designed this tree skirt.  It looks more complex then it actually is — it’s very quick and easy to piece from simple shaples.
